With cast members of the Tony Award-winning Broadway show "Hamilton" singing the national anthem, it was going to be a surreal day.
The play was based on the life of Alexander Hamilton, a former Secretary of State killed in a duel with Vice-President Aaron Burr in the early 19th century.
And, with both teams battling injury problems, losing streaks and mysterious penalty calls, the Ravens and host New York Giants engaged in a strange duel at MetLife Stadium Oct. 16.
In the end, Baltimore's battered offensive line and secondary cost it dearly as its early dominant offensive edge was wiped away in the Giants' 27-23 win before 78,487 fans.
